Silver fluoride treatment and local numbing for tooth cavities
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying silver diamine fluoride (a cavity-stopping liquid) changes how well local numbing works during dental treatment for certain tooth defects. It may help determine the safest and most comfortable way to treat weak, cavity-prone molars in children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has at least one first permanent molar with a weak/defective area and a cavity or a defect needing filling treatment with numbing medicine
- Your child is generally healthy (ASA I or II: healthy or mild medical problems)
- Your child can follow simple behavior guidance for dental care (non-drug methods or nitrous oxide/oxygen)
- You/your child can complete the study in English
- There is no known allergy or strong past reaction to silver/other heavy metals, the numbing (local anesthetic), or study materials

This study tests two methods—a special fluoride liquid and a cold therapy—to see which better numbs the pain of treating MIH-affected molars in children ages 6 to 12. It may help find a gentler way to make dental treatment more comfortable.
This study compares a computer-controlled numbing method to the traditional shot for children who have weak enamel (molar-incisor hypomineralization) and need a filling. The goal is to see which method is more comfortable and effective.
This study tests whether applying a silver fluoride solution once or twice can stop tooth decay in children aged 4 to 6. It may help keep cavities from getting worse without needing fillings.
This study checks if silver-containing agents can help heal early white spots (cavities) on baby teeth of children aged 3 to 8. It compares different silver treatments to see which works best for stopping or reversing these early cavities.
This study tests if a liquid medicine (silver diamine fluoride) painted on baby teeth cavities can change the bacteria in a child's mouth. It is for healthy children ages 4–10 with an open cavity.
This trial studies a special liquid called silver diamine fluoride that is painted onto cavities on tooth roots. It may help stop the decay and keep the tooth healthy without drilling.
